'''Canespa''', officially ''The Wasiqanate | '''Canespa''', officially ''The Third Wasiqanate of Canespa and Wasiqana'' is a nation which encompasses ten [[Suyukuna's]] and twelve [[mikuna's]]. [[Canespa]] spans just under 1.4 million square kilometers (524,000 sqmi), [[Canespa]] is a small to moderate sized country, being the largest within the [[Cusinaut]]. With a total population of just over 90 million [[Canespa|Canespa's]] population density is relatively low, only being 67 people per square kilometer (174 people/sqmi). [[Canespa|Canespa's]] capital, [[Cahocanqa|Cahocanqa]], is one of the oldest cities within the country and the [[Cusinaut]] as a whole. It is located along the [[Papa River]] within the [[Suyukuna's|Suyukuna]] of [[Papua]] in central [[Canespa]]. The rest of [[Canespa]] is situated with the [[Sea of Capelan]] and the [[Ocean of Cathay]] to its west. To the North sits the [[Mera Bay|Quexten Bay]] ([[Mera Bay]]). Along the [[Mera Bay|Quexten Bay]] sits one of [[Canespa|Canespa's]] largest cities, [[Extranjero]], whose port is owned by [[Burgundie]]. [[Canespa]] borders [[Porfíria|Porfiria]], [[Netansett]], [[Algosh Republic|the Algosh Republic]], [[Caracua]] and [[Burgundie]] ([[Port Extranjero]]). It additionally has a sea border with [[Austro-Caldera]]. | ||

The [[Canespa|Canespan]] economy is heavily tied toward agriculture making [[Canespa]] the largest food exporter when adjusted for nation size. Often nicknamed the "Breadbasket of [[Crona]]" or "The Potatobasket" due to its large production of Potato's which make it the largest Potato exporter on the globe, with just under 80% of the land in [[Canespa]] being dedicated toward agriculture or related aspects. Most of [[Canespa|Canespa's]] exports are cold weather crops like Potato's, Barley, and some vegtables including carrots, onions, cabbage, and broccoli. Aside from agriculture [[Canespa]] also has a large and self sufficient lumber industry due to the large northern forests within the country. The top trees that are harvested for there wood include pine, spruce, fir, hemlock and western redcedar. The [[Canespa|Canespan]] lumber industry is mostly for the production of local goods for [[Canespa]] and its surrounding neighbors. Aside from renewable goods [[Canespa]] also has a fairly large mining industry with uranium being one of [[Canespa|Canespa's]] largest mineral exports. This is due to the large uranium deposits found in the central regions of the [[Cusinaut]]. Along with uranium [[Canespa]] has a large mining industry for diatomite and perlite. All of these industries are controlled solely by the [[Canasta Company]] and its subsidiaries in the region. In short [[Canespa|Canespan]] economy can be described as an export economy where most the money made is via the sale of agricultural goods to foreign areas of the world via [[Port Extranjero]] which is controlled by [[Burgundie]] as part of a trade deal between [[Canespa]] and [[Burgundie]]. | The [[Canespa|Canespan]] economy is heavily tied toward agriculture making [[Canespa]] the largest food exporter when adjusted for nation size.

The name Canespa derives from two main words: Canasta and Papa. Canasta is the Canespan word for basket or bowl and is the main premise of Canespa. Notably the main company within Canespa is named the Canasta Company due to its roots of being a basket company. The second term is Papa, which is the Canespan word for Potato. Papa also originates from the Papa River in central Canespa where the capital lies. | |||

The Wasi King is one of the most unique and distinguishable characteristics of Canespa. The idea behind the Wasi King is powerful as it is eternal. The Wasi King can be defined as an elected monarch from a political standpoint and an eternal Kānenaka from a religious and cultural perspective. First appearing as a concept in 1176 the Wasi King has, for the most part, existed as a part of Canespa and its culture since its introduction. Through this end the idea of the Wasi King leading Canespa is known as Wasiqana, and is sometimes used as a secondary name for the country. In the modern day the Wasi King has executive authority in Canespa. He is kept in check to a degree by the House of Union but can operate independently without approval from the House of Union during times of war and crisis. | [[File:WasiKing.jpg|thumb|First picture ever taken of the Wasi Kings personification.]] | ||

=== Federal Subdivisions === | === Federal Subdivisions === | ||
{{Further|Suyukuna's}} | {{Further|Suyukuna's}}[[Canespa]] is divided into eight unique divisions known as [[Karpakuna's]]. These Karpakuna's are each meant to represent a house from historic Canespan society on a regional and political level. The eight Karpakuna's are Papa, Espada, Kanchi, [[House Kuskachay|Kuskachay]], [[House Qispisqa Kay|Qispisqa]], Netliga, Hamuq, and Cahocanqa. Hamuq and Cahocanqa are unique in their administration as the House of Union and Wasi King have a tighter control on the laws, regulations, and infrastructure management of the respective Karpakuna's. The remaining six Karpakuna's are much larger and have much more autonomy in terms of law and policy. Each Karpakuna can further be divided into Suyukuna's and Mikuna's. Suyukuna's tend to be smaller and much more populated then their respective counterpart. While Mikuna's are larger and more rural in nature. These smaller divisions were created much more recently in the 1950s in an effort to streamline and maximize the efficiency of Canespan agriculture. The only Karpakuna's without further subdivision are Hamuq and Cahocanqa. | ||
===House of Union=== | ===House of Union=== | ||
The [[House of Union]] (Wasi Unión) is the effective Legislative body of [[Canespa]]. The House of Union consists of five "parties" that represent the five largest houses of [[Canespa]]. Unlike normal parties these parties do not have hard set political views and instead of based on the heritage of ones party. This creates a multi-layer system where members of the House have loyalty to both their relatives and others who share the same idea. In practice most of the houses do have general views and can represent different regions of [[Canespa]] as well.The House has a total of 286 members with 86 of them being guaranteed to each region while the remaining 200 are dispersed based on a population basis. The House of Union's power is mostly untested as its general strength usually depends on the sitting [[Wasi King]]. Although the House has recently served as more of a check on the Wasi King and what he can do. With the current personification attempting to restrict the power of the house as much as possible. | |||
===Law=== | ===Law=== | ||
Due to native roots | Due to native roots [[Canespa]]’s judicial system is completely different to most non-Cronan countries. The goal of the judicial system is not to prosecute the wrongdoer, but to instead solve what went wrong between the defendant and prosecutor. By doing this the judicial process has two missions, stop the conflict from continuing, and finding out what the best course of action is. In one particular case a man attempted to murder the victim because of the long standing rivalry between his and the victims family. As the case evolved the Council of Elders got together to consider the best possible course of action, after talking to both the victim and the criminal in private, then together as a group. Following an intense and complex discussion two possible options were discussed, either sending one family away and changing their names while enrolling the criminal in a therapy group, or for the victim and the criminal to engage in a weekly discussion where the two families settle their differences and keep friendly contact. Once both parties agreed the second option was decided upon. Today the families have become strong allies and are now neighbors. The former criminal has not engaged in any illegal activity since the court case and has said that he strongly regrets his former actions. | ||
[[Canespa|Canespa's]] laws are rooted in [[M'acunism]] and its large production of crops. It is illegal to bring any uninspected food into the country due to the fear of any and all crop diseases that can effect the nation's output. Almost all actions that significantly increase the Co2 output of [[Canespa]] are also illegal without proper permission from the government. It is also illegal to raze the ground of an area without the proper permits from the government ensuring it wont highly affect the native wildlife. Due to the nature of the countries government there is no minimum wage and all wage related laws are directly run by the [[Canasta Company]]. In a similar manner taxes barely exist in the country and much of the money the government makes is sent to them via the Canasta Company. Though if you live in the country and work for any corporation besides the [[Canasta Company]] then taxes can raise drastically though this is rare. | [[Canespa|Canespa's]] laws are rooted in [[M'acunism]] and its large production of crops.

===Attitudes and Worldview=== | ===Attitudes and Worldview=== | ||
The people of [[Canespa]] view life as a connection to the earth that individuals have to play a part in. In their opinion other countries lack a connection to the earth, and that this will play a role in most of there failures. They believe that in order to maintain balance [[Canespa]] must keep its connections to Mother Nature in order to feed the people of the world. The [[Canasta Company]] while being a government and corporation plagued with corruption and power hungry individuals has always, under the guidance of [[House Wasi]], kept its promise of maintaining its connection to the Earth and guaranteeing the safety of the people.

[[Canespa|Canespan's]] have little connection with fellow [[Crona|Cronan]] natives. Instead they tend to align themselves with whoever can benefit the country itself. This leads to a fairly open view about other people and nations and the people of [[Canespa]] rarely judge concepts that are irregular to them. | ||

[[Canespa| | [[Canespa|Canespan's]]--northern and southern, all work for the [[Canasta Company]]. No profession has been saved from its monopoly and all other organizations/companies are effectively banned from the country. This has lead to every aspect of life being controlled by the company. If you live in the cities you most likely live in a small but comfortable apartment that has the necessities for life and some commodities to. If you live and work on a farm then you most likely life in an [[llaqta]]. An [[llaqta]] is a small village that consists of about twenty some houses with some small shops and stores that are run with semi-autonomy. These [[llaqta's]] are set up around large farms and everyone who lives in the [[llaqta]] works said farm. From that you receive your pay minus your living expenses and needs. Anything categorized as a want or commodity can be bought with the meager pay. [[Canespa|Canespan's]] have on average five kids that are entirely funded by the government with large raises given to anyone based on the number of kids they have. The kids in each [[llaqta]] are usually picked up for school by a biofuel run bus. While the kids are at school the parents will work the farms and help the shops remain functional. | ||

Families are led by both parents but the rules of the houses dictates that the children of the couple are part of the fathers house and the mother is allowed to convert to the husbands house at marriage if they are not part of the same house. This has led to parents wishing for more male children that will lead to the growth of there house. The only house that is exempt to this rule is [[House Wasi]]. [[House Wasi]] is only passed on through the eldest son or daughter of the [[Wasi House]] head. While all of the children of the houses head are part of the house, they can not pass it down to their children. If the eldest son or daughter has no children then the children of a different son of daughter will be able to pass down [[House Wasi]] even if said children are not part of [[House Wasi]].

[[Canespa|Canespans]] are known for there ability to make a different potato themed dish for ever day of the year. This was born out of necessity as the government of [[Canespa]] gives out rations accordingly to the person. Most of the time these rations come in form of potatoes about 60% of the time. Most take these rations in exchange for less pay. Potatoes have been the main dish of [[Canespa]] since before the days of the [[Wasi King]]. They have caused many diplomatic incidents within [[Canespa]] and they have been a symbol for many things including one of the houses, different revolts and wars across the years, and multiple laws. | ||
[[House Papa]] is the house of potato. Thanks to the efforts of the [[Canasta Company]] [[House Papa]] became the largest house in 1994. This was pushed by the Company for many reasons but the biggest of which was the large monoculture farming the House participated in. For sustainability reasons the monoculture has been brought back a bit but is still a major factor in the nation. While this does make the nations food production slightly more vulnerable, the [[Canasta Company]] knows this and has placed strict laws on what enters the company. All vehicles attempting to enter the country are searched for all traces of any fruits or vegetables. | [[House Papa]] is the house of potato.

in 1659 the [[Canespa| | in 1659 the [[Canespa|Canespan]] Houses were conducting a fairly ordinary yearly ritual to pray to [[Makuahine]] (Mother Nature) and her givings. This would have been an event that could barely be mentioned but during the ritual [[House Kanchi]] brought a tomato (There main crop) to the ritual instead of the mandated Potato that this specific ritual mandated. This lead to [[House Papa]] being deeply enraged. Thus leaving the country on the verge of civil war. If it wasn't for the other houses stepping in and stopping it, it could have ended [[Canespa]]. As a peace deal [[House Kanchi]] and [[House Papa]] made a new dish mixing both tomatoes and potatoes in an elegant blend that stunned administrators and even the [[Wasi King]] himself with its savory and beautiful taste. Though this dish has been lost to history its taste is said to still linger in the mouths of all [[Canespa|Canespan's]]. | ||

They were built with natural gardens and places of natural worship. Most of the pyramids were built on areas of earth scorched by war. The pyramids were seen as a way to repay mother nature for the wrong doings of mans war. Another use for the pyramids was to show the power and wealth that the tribe who built it had.

In 2027 [[Canespa]] updated its currency into the [[Capesa]]. An (almost) completely digital style of currency exchange. The [[Capesa]] is digital form of currency that is backed by electricity. One [[Capesa]] is equal to one Kilowatt of electricity. While this does lead to a slightly harder to control currency it means that [[Canespa]] can engage in trade deals with other nations that result in direct energy transfer. Thanks to this [[Canespa]] produces little energy of its own. Instead it imports most of its energy from other countries in exchange for food. Before this, [[Canespa]] was using the [[Taler]] because of its connections with [[Burgundie]] as they were the main trade partner of [[Canespa]]. | In 2027 [[Canespa]] updated its currency into the [[Capesa]].

There capabilities are untested but due to [[Canespa|Canespa's]] known ability to genetically modify plants the [[CM's]] can likely do the same. They have roughly 35,000 individuals with around 90,000 in reserve. Exact numbers are hard to find due to the secrecy of the branch. The [[Muchuy's]] are rarely deployed due to the ethical stretch the government must make in order to use them. The legal and religious restrictions of the branch only allow for its use in a war that can not be won through traditional means. | ||
